Most Helpful Positive Review Great Hair Product! Got this as a free sample with purchase. I love it. I have colored, long hair that is pretty straight but has a tiny bit of natural wave. I usually curl it for all special occasions and whenever I go out. My hair normally does not hold a curl very long. Using this product, it really, really holds my curls, and keeps frizz at bay. It also protects against heat for thermal protection. Great all around. I only put it on the bottom half of my hair where the curls go. If I use near the roots (the directions say to use from roots to ends) I find my hair looks more clumped together & kind of greasy. It took me trying it a couple of times to perfect my desired results.
Most Helpful Critical Review Great gel but could use more hold for my hair. I liked it and don't normally like gels. I just wish it had a stronger hold.

I try the product, I have curly hair, I dont mind the curl just just dont need the frizz. I have use this product years back different type, by the same company but they have more choices and different types of products for hair type which will work for all types of hair. I am very pleased with this brand.
Curl Woes No More 5
North Shore Femme from MN
This product is a total game changer. I have a lot of fine wavy hair that is long (about mid back) and prone to frizz. I've always struggled with finding a product that defines my curl, has good hold, and reduces frizz and let me tell you this gel does it all for me! I love that it has great hold but keeps my hair soft, it's super easy to break that cast on the hair but it doesn't cause the curl to lose it's shape. The smell is super light and clean, I love it. I will say it's a bit more watery than I was expect but it made applying pretty easy. A little bit goes a long way.
So far, this gel is amazing!! 4
Curlyrizado from Chino, Ca
I am a mom of four, so I don't have time to add 4-5 different products in my hair. All I use is the gel and I have no complaints. So far, this product is amazing. I love how it doesn't weigh my hair down and I have great definition. I can probably go 2-3 days w/out having to do my hair all over again, which is as long as I like to go.
Love Love Love!!! 5

If you want super defined curls and no frizz then this product is for you! It's so smooth and slips right into the hair making it easy to finger detangle and style.
Cancun proof ! 5
Chaddy from Upland, Ca
During my ten day stay in the beautiful city of Akumal this kept my hair from going out of control frizzy due to the humidity. What a life saver !
Great for body with short hair 5
Ellens from LakevWorth Fl

I like to mix this with Mizani texture lotion and love it! 5
CLo from Deerfield Beach, FL
I mix this with Mizani styling lotion and love the combo.
Yes love this product. Does not make your hair crunchy. 5
Deb from Dubuque. Ia.
I use this product daily. Put some in my hand, wet with water then apply. If I just washed my hair it's already wet. If it's 2nd or 3rd day, I use extra water.
Not what it is cracked up to be. 2
Curly Shirly from Gaylord,MI.
Does not hold hair like it says. My hair was very fly away instead of holding the curl properly.
I would buy this product again 5
Angie from Jamestown, OH
My already natural curly hair is growing out from chemo, so it's super curly right now. I asked one of the sales clerks what she used in her hair as her locks were beautiful (and curly) and she recommended I try the travel size since it's pricy. I love it - keeps the curls looking so nice with no frizz and the curls keep their shape. I actually am an "every other day" hair washer and on my "off" days I can just fluff my hair up in the morning by running a blow dryer through it - the curls bounce back as if I'd never slept on them.
This stuff works! 5
NorCalGal from Sacramento, CA
I use this under Uncle Funkys Daughter and it works great! There is NOTHING else out there that works on my hair. Especially the Frizz attacks I get!
Cant live without it 5
Curly redhead from Florida
I use this over a sling cream. Sometimes I add the Mongongo oil, but this alone works great. It really helps set my curls if I am using a blowdryer but also works great just air dry. I love that it makes my curls soft instead of crunchy or sticky, and it lasts all day in the Florida humidity! Low to no frizz! Love it!
It's okay 3

On my wet hair
Ehhh... 2
Jojo from Charlotte, NC
I know this brand and product work well for a lot of people. But for me, it didn't do much. I have spiral curls on the bottom half of my hair and then the top half is waves with a curl at the end. This product for me dries my hair out, unfortunately. I wanted to love it so bad. I do like that it's the perfect travel size.

Did NOTHING as far as hold or frizz control. Everyone loves this and I really wanted to, as well.

left my hair sticky and stringy 2
Maddy from TX
I have 2b/2c hair and it didnt work for me. It made my hair feel sticky and look stringy. However it did prevent frizz.
Not much of a difference 3
Curly Girl from Chicago, Ill
It really did not perform well in high humidity. My hair frizzed as if I had used no product. Glad this was a free trial because it would have been money wasted if I had purchased it
Just wish it wasn't so expensive. 4
Glam-ma from south central Kansas
I bought this to have for traveling. I'd love to use this product all the time, but it's way more than I want to pay for a styling product, especially when I'm happy enough with what I'm using & it comes in at a much lower price point.
worth every penny 5
Midwestern girl from yorkville il
I naturally have very thin, fine hair. I decided to get a perm to thicken and add body to my hair. The end result was thicker hair but I also had a lot of frizz, of course a very humid summer didn't help. I just wanted to cry. I hated my hair. After researching the internet for a solution, Ouidad had rave reviews, so I tried the travel size before buying the larger size. Oh my, I absolutely love how this product controlled the frizz without making my hair feel stiff or sticky. And the shine is back! Love this product!!! I can just wash my hair and apply as directed and I'm ready to roll. Thank you Ouidad you are worth every penny!

Bought this to control frizzy hair. Just used it once so far. Seems to be working
I always buy this! It works on my natural hair and I ❤️ It! 5

I use it daily to style my hair.
Bought for work but better for going out 4
danigirl from va
This is pretty good! Wanted to get the travel size just to try first. I'm a waitress and oddly enough (indoors) my hair gets pretty frizzy at work, even with this product raked and shaken in my hair.
At a cookout, however, my curls looked beautiful. I'm the 2c-3b range (wavy with some loose and slightly tight coils) and they looked pretty good! Better than they would at work from running around so much and being by a hot, humid dishwashing machine every 10 minutes I suppose.
I will update, I'm going to a concert soon and how it holds up will determine if I go full size!
Must have! 5
Tiff from Lexington, SC
Best hair gel I've ever used! Not too heavy or greasy. Makes my curls look natural and not crunchy or still like most hair gels.
My go-to 5
LHM from Augusta, GA
I will not be without it. I have a travel bottle for the gym and a bottle at home. I used to rely on simply "plopping" my hair with a T-shirt. But I am sold on Ouidad!! Love how easy the "rake and shake" system is and how silky my curls feel. And they stay that way! I use the heat and humidity spray as well, just in case I have to quickly blowdry my hair. It keeps the heat from the appliance from damaging my hair.
